Cycle Right Training
Cycle Right is an external organisation that trains individuals to become trainers in delivering training to students on the proper ways of riding a bike on the road.
Funded by the Department of Transport and support by the NTA, Green-Schools can offer eligible schools a grant which covers up to €10 per pupil participating in the programme; with a limit of €600. The €600 limit is in a calendar year.
Therefore, if a school does training twice within the same calendar year they can apply twice but only up to €600.
Other important points to note:
- It is very important to note our funding runs on a calendar year and not on the school year calendar.
- All funding is on a first come, first served basis. Once our funding runs out, we cannot process any more applications in that particular calendar year.
- Both secondary and primary schools are eligible for the same amount of coverage.
- DEIS schools can get funding directly from Cycling Ireland.
Who is eligible?
Eligible:
- Schools who are currently working on Travel or Global Citizenship Travel.
- Schools who have completed Travel in the past and are still active on the Green-Schools programme.
NOT Eligible:
- Schools who are long term deferred from Green-Schools, as we need to prioritise schools currently working on the programme. A long term deferred school is a school which has not renewed their Green Flag Award within the expected two-year timeline for a number of years and are not maintaining their work on the Green-Schools programme or relationship with Green-Schools.
- Schools who do not apply for the grant within 3 months of the training start date.
